“…Our participants did not feel very confident about attending to these patients, which is possibly related to their lack of specific training (Hernández-Martínez et al, 2021). Nevertheless, they were quite willing to treat infected cases, and their main fear was infecting their family relations by coming into contact with COVID-19 patients, which agrees with the results reported by Kang et al (2012) and Goni-Fuste et al (2021).…”

“…These differences between Nursing and Medical students were probably related to the specific competences of each degree, but future studies should confirm it. Patel et al (2017) and Goni-Fuste et al (2021) state that level of knowledge and training impact Health Sciences students' confidence and willingness to treat infected cases during pandemic outbreaks. Our participants did not feel very confident about attending to these patients, which is possibly related to their lack of specific training (Hernández-Martínez et al, 2021).…”

“…It is necessary to consider the legal and ethical implications of continuing to train students in these situations, as well as considering aspects such as early vaccination of students, contact with infected patients, the availability of protective equipment, increasing the hours in simulation laboratories. (Goni-Fuste et al, 2021), biological accidents in students (Tantillo and Christopher, 2021) or the tutorstudent ratio in organizational models of clinical practices. Furthermore, it seems appropriate to explore new methodologies.…”

Background: COVID-19 challenges world governments. In Spain, measures to contain the pandemic are novel, and include the possibility of contracting Nursing and Medical students who might not be ready or willing to treat infected cases. Objectives: To study Spanish Nursing and Medical students' knowledge about COVID-19 community transmission prevention measures, treating infected patients, and their confidence and willingness to treat cases. To learn their views about the first public health policy measures adopted by the Spain government to contain the pandemic. Design: Cross-sectional study. Settings and participants: 237 Spanish Nursing and Medical students. Methods: An online questionnaire was designed on the knowledge, confidence and willingness to treat, and the suitability of the public health policy measures adopted in Spain. The data were collected through social networks. The results were compared according to their university degree. Results: Knowledge about community prevention was suitable, unlike knowledge about treating infected patients. Students had little confidence in treating cases, but their willingness and moral responsibility were high. Very few significant differences were found in their university degrees. Medical students evaluated the measures taken in Spain more favorably. Conclusions: Students' knowledge about COVID-19 community prevention measures was adequate, but not about preventive measures when treating patients with COVID-19. They felt little confidence despite being willing to treat infected patients. The sample agreed with the public health measures adopted in Spain.

“…Contemporary studies documented healthcare professionals' state of depression (An et al, 2020), anxiety and, more general changes in their personal quality of life due to emergen-cy (Korkmaz et al, 2020;Busch et al, 2021) that may had a strong impact on their ability and willingness to learn. In fact, during first wave pandemic in Italy, health professionals faced a double challenge: on the one hand, they were dealing professionally (and personally) with an emerging global health crisis; on the other hand, those enrolled in a university training course dealt with a necessary transition from traditional teaching to online teaching (Langegård et al, 2021;Goni-Fuste et al, 2021).…”

“…Although a relevant number of studies on students' general perceptions of their experience of the forced transition to online learning (Langegård et al, 2021;Ibrahim et al, 2021;Goni-Fuste et al, 2021;Bączek et al, 2021), research directed to explore specifically the quality of the educational life and focused on nurses who attend post-graduate professional courses is still lacking.…”

This study aimed to investigate healthcare post-graduate students' perceptions of the quality of educational life and learning experience during the forced online transition due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The study design was inspired by a qualitative inductive approach. Participants (N = 24) were nurses who attended healthcare postgraduate courses. In-depth video-recorded interviews were carried out. Thematic analysis was chosen to infer data from the transcripts. Four critical themes emerged from data analysis: 1) the "emotional" change in the quality of life; 2) learning environment and quality of educational life; 3) the socio-relational dimension; 4) strategies to improve the educational life. Although initial struggles related to the unfulfilled different learning styles and socio-relational needs, students showed mostly a proactive attitude. They discovered, with the help of online learning, that a learning program could be adapted to their lifestyle. Lastly, study participants highlighted the crucial importance of online tutors to improve their engagement and the quality of educational life.

Aim This study explored the experiences of undergraduate nursing students who worked clinically during the COVID‐19 pandemic in Irish healthcare settings. Design A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Methods Online focus group interviews were used to collect data from general nursing students ( N = 47) between February and April 2021. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results Descriptive thematic analysis of the data revealed five themes; changes in care delivery, changes in communication and relationships with the patient, an emotionally charged work atmosphere, coping strategies during the pandemic and student learning specific to COVID‐19. Challenges such as an increased workload, fear of contracting the virus and taking on novel and additional roles were revealed. Students remained undeterred, and despite the many challenges faced, they largely viewed their experiences as a source of personal and professional growth, and benefitted from the learning opportunities afforded to them.
